Seven things about Sheffield Wednesday v Arsenal

Chris Holt

Arsenal head to Hillsborough tonight to take on Sheffield Wednesday in the Capital One Cup for what will be the 126th meeting between the sides.

And here are SEVEN more things you might want to know about the fixture.

1 - When the teams last met there were 15 British or Irish players across both starting line-ups. If there is around half that amount tonight it would be a surprise.

2 - The Owls and the Gunners have faced each other five times in the League Cup in its various guises and Wednesday have lost all of them. The first took place in the quarter final stage in January 1983, Arsenal winning 1-0 at Highbury and the last was in November 1996 where the match finished 2-1. All of the games, bar the 1993 final have been at Arsenal's ground.
